Wednesday 24th May 2006Two Chinese brothers rob an English Woman in South Pattaya.
On Tuesday Evening, Police Captain Piya from Pattaya Police Station received a call from Mrs. Ann Phillips aged 60 from England who had just been robbed outside the Chaimongkon Temple in South Pattaya. She mentioned that two men, who appeared not to be of Thai origin, had walked beside her and snatched her handbag from her left shoulder. The bag contained 10,000 Baht in cash, a mobile phone, two credit cards and other personal items. Thanks to the swift action of Pattaya Police, the two men were seen further down the South Pattaya Road and were arrested. They were identified as Mr. Yaogia Liang aged 38 and Mr. Feng Liang aged 28 both brothers from China. They confessed to the crime and claimed that they were part of a tour group who had already left Thailand. They committed the theft to raise money to buy two tickets back to China as they had run out of money. Both were charged with theft and will most likely receive two free plane tickets courtesy of the Police as part of their deportation process assuming they are convicted of the crimes committed.
